DEATH OF GENERAL LOGAN.

LEA III UT 1I~isEFNfhL LSortt
The announcement OF the death Of
General Logan follows so closely upon
the news of his dangerous illness as to
startle the whole country. We can
hardly realize that Death has again in
vaded the ranks Of distinguished citi-
zens. He has been especially busy dur
-ng the past year in striking down pub
lie men. Hendricks, Hancock, Nc
Clellan, Logan, soldiers and statesmen
of renown.
General Logan was not an ordinary
congress at u very early a~ge-before he
was twenty-eight. He remained there
until the war;, and was the warm per-
sonal and political friend of Stephen A..
Douglas. When the war broke out
General Logan entered the Union army
as colonel of m Illinois regiment, and
rose to the rank of major general and
was given the command of a corps.
He was a born soldier and seemed by
instinct to grasp the military
forces and SO combine them rs
to assure success. He was brave with
cut being rash, cautious and prudent
vet swift to strike at the right NOM
emit. In his military character he some
what resembled General Thomas. His
career as a soldier is not marked by a
single failure.
General Logan rose from humble
parentage, and without the advantages
of fortune or q liberal education be-
came a conspicuous figure in American
politics. After the war he was re-
turned to the house and was twice
elected to the senate, having entered
upon his third term as u member of
that body on the 4th of March last.
Those who watched the proceedings of
she last Republican national conven-
ton will recall the enthusiasm with
which he was nominated for the vice.
presidency, as evincing his popularity
with his party. 1t is probable that had
he lived he would have been a promi-
nent and formidable candidate for the
presidency in 1888, even though
he might have failed of
a nomination. In political
contests Gen. Logan manifested the
same energy and persistency that he
did in his military campaigns. He was
resourceful, adroit in debate, if not al
ways logical, and if sometimes defeat
ed, he left the conviction behind that
he was honest. Perhaps the most
noted debate he was ever engaged in
was on the bill to restore Gen. Fitz
John Porter tc the army retired list.
General Logan was personally loved
and esteemed by the soldiers of all par
ties. Their admiration for his soldierly
qualities was almost as great as for
General Grant.
The country will sincerely mourn
and regret the death of General Logan.
He overcame obstacles in his pathway
that would have appalled, men of less
force, and rose to positions of the high
est honors. The history of the pas:
quarter of 4 century must be In part
the history OF the new lead soldier and
Statesman.

that Sheriff w. Kendall came into Meeker
last night, bringing with him four of Col

ST. PAUL, Aug. 17.-Premier Norquay of
Manitoba arrived in st. Paul from Winni-
peg this morning. He denounced the SEN
sational story published in the Globe this
morning that there was any suspicion of a
double game being worked in connection
with his visit to Ottawa. He was thor
oughly in earnest and in sympathy with
the people in their efforts to get an outlet
to the boundary. Nothing can now pre-
vent the building of the road. He was sur
prised at the action of Van Horne of the
Canadian Pacific in trying to block the
progress OF the Red River Valley road. but
there was public sentiment behind the
enterprise which would push it over all
obstacles. The road will reach the boun-
on to Chicago this evening where he ex-
poets to find instructions from his govern
ment.
Winnipeg special to the Pioneer Press:
Attorney General Hamilton, in charge of
the legal business of the Red River Valley
road. says he has instructed the conrrac-
tors to 60 ahead and pay no attention to
the Canadian Pacific spur from Morris.
He says the government is bound to get to
the boundary at all hazard, whether the
opposition is armed or unarmed. The
Canadian Pacific solicitor says the compa-
ny will apply for an injunction to prevent
the Red River road crossing the Canadian
Pacific tracks.

PROHIBITION ADIEU, ,
At Least For the Present, as the
County Commissioners Refuse
to Call an Election.
A Protest Entered and a Legal Con-
test Threatened by the
PrOhibitiOnists.
They Lacked Names.

The most interesting session OF the
county commissioners held for many
months was that of yesterday, when the
long-talked-of. much-discussed and heroic
ally-agitated local option question was
taken up for final action. The fact that
the commissioners refused to call an elec.
tion upon the question and gave as their
reason the fact that sufficient number of
names did not appear upon the petition,
will be of sensational interest to the pro-
hibitionists who have been moving heaven
and earth, or at least that portion of those
domains which lie in this vicinity.
A number of the prohibitionists
were present-some to speak, some to keep
an eye on the alleged chicanery and others
to paralyze the commissioners with their
august presence.
The question having been raised, Mr..
Edgerly moved that the prayer Of the petit
TONERS be refused and no election called,
for the reason that it appears by the evi-
dence furnished by the last general elec-
ton that a sufficient number of names
have not been affixed to said petition, as
required by law.
Commissioner johnson seconded the mo-
ton, but before vote was taken, Judge
Gray arose and entered a protest. He said
the commissioners were compelled under
the law to call the election, and that he was
prepared to prove that the proper number
of names had been affixed to the petition.
He announced that he would take the mat
ter into the courts, and raising his hands
in sanctimonious supplication he ex-
claimeed, amid a cyclone of gesticulation:
"May God have mercy on your souls!"
Mr.. Gray's effort having closed,
the ayes and nays were called
upon Mr.. Edgerly's motion, that no
election be called, Messrs. Edgerly and
johnson voting aye and Mr.. Neal voting
the local option fiasco was brought to a
close.
The number of names required by law is
381 legal voters as shown by the last gen.
eral election. The petition contained 535
names, but only $50 of these appear upon
the poll lists of the last general election.
AS the only evidence acceptable under the
Commissioners johnson and Edgerly re-
fused to call an election.
Aside from the above reason forty voters
whose names appeared on the petition
signed a counter petition asking that their
names be erased, as they had been misled
and deceived into signing. They also pro-
tested against the calling of an election on
the question of local option on the ground
that it would create strife and contention
and engender ill feeling among the people,
and that it would incur needless and
fruitless expense upon the county.
